FIRST FOUNDATION INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the NineThree Months Ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 - UNAUDITED

 

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements include First Foundation Inc. (“FFI”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries: First Foundation Advisors (“FFA”) and First Foundation Bank (“FFB” or the “Bank”) and the wholly owned subsidiaries of FFB, First Foundation Insurance Services (“FFIS”) and Blue Moon Management, LLC (collectively referred to as the “Company”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations reflect any interim adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature and which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period presented. The results for the 20192020 interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and prevailing practices within the banking industry. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all information and footnotes required for interim financial statement presentation. These financial statements assume that readers have read the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K which contains the latest available audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year consolidated financial statements to conform to the 20192020 presentation.

Recently adopted accounting guidance

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments: In July 2019,June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments which introduces new guidance for the accounting for credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. It also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and provides for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. The new model, referred to as the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) model, applies to financial assets subject to credit losses and measured at amortized cost, and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. Upon initial recognition of the exposure, the CECL model requires an entity to estimate the credit losses expected over the life of an exposure.

The Company adopted the amendments within ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures. Results for the periods beginning after that date are presented under Topic 326, while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable U.S. GAAP.

There was not any cumulative effect adjustment upon adoption. The Company elected to continue to account for purchase credit impaired (“PCI”) as a pool under ASC 310-30 and applied the prospective transition approach. The Company applied the prospective transition approach for debt securities for which other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized prior to January 1, 2020. As a result, the amortized cost basis remains the same before and after the effective date. The effective interest rate on these debt securities was not changed.

Allowance for credit losses on investment securities: On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the amendments within ASU 2016-13, which replaces the legacy US GAAP Other Than Temporary Impairment (“OTTI”) model with a credit loss model. The credit loss model under ASC 326-30, applicable to debt securities available for sale (“Securities AFS”), requires recognition of credit losses through an allowance account, but retains the concept from the OTTI model that credit losses are recognized once securities become impaired. For Securities AFS, a decline in fair value due to credit loss results in recognition of an allowance for credit losses. Impairment may result from credit deterioration of the issuer or collateral underlying the security. The assessment of determining if a decline in fair value resulted from a credit loss is performed at the individual security level. Among other factors, the Company considers: 1) the extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis; 2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, including consideration of relevant financial metrics or ratios of the issuer; 3) any adverse conditions related to an industry or geographic area of an issuer; 4) any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency; and 5) any past due principal or interest payments from the issuer. If an assessment of the above factors indicates that a credit loss exists, the Company records an allowance for credit losses for the excess of the amortized cost basis over the present value of cash flows expected to be collected, limited to the amount that the security's fair value is less than its amortized cost basis. Subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as a provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense. Interest accruals and amortization and accretion of premiums

and discounts are suspended when the credit loss is recognized in earnings. Any interest received after the security has been placed on nonaccrual status is recognized on a cash basis. Accrued interest receivable on Securities AFS is excluded from the estimate of expected credit losses.

The provision for credit losses on the consolidated income statement includes the provisions for credit losses for loans and securities AFS. For the quarter ending March 31, 2020, the provision for credit losses for loans was $2.3 million and the provision for credit losses for securities AFS was $1.8 million, resulting in a total provision for credit losses of $4.1 million.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”. ASU 2020-04 provides optional guidance for applying generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met.  The amendments in this ASU apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform.  The amendments in this ASU are effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022.  The adoption of ASU 2020-04 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”. ASU 2019-12 provides amendments to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In July 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-07, Codification Updates to SEC Sections.  ASU 2019-07 amends certain Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) sections or paragraphs within the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) to reflect changes in SEC Final Rule Releases (“SEC Releases”) No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification and Nos. 33-10231 and 33-10442, Investment Company Reporting Modernization.  The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this ASU are the same as the effective dates and transition requirements in SEC Releases 33-10532, 33-10231, and 33-10442, as amended by this ASU. The adoption of ASU 2019-07 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Targeted Transition Relief. ASU 2019-05 provides entities that have certain instruments within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses Measured at Amortized Cost, with an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option in Subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments – Overall applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis for eligible instruments, upon adoption of ASU 2019-05.  The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2019-05 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. 

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic, 825, Financial Instruments. Regarding Topic 326, ASU 2019-04 provides improvements to clarify the guidance in the amendments in ASU 2016-13, or to correct unintended application of guidance. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We expect the adoption of ASU 2019-04 will impact the Company’s accounting for credit losses in the same manner as the guidance in ASU 2016-13 described below. Regarding Topic 815 and Topic 825, the adoption of ASU 2019-04 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842), Codification Improvements. ASU 2019-01 provides improvements to clarify ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), or to correct unintended application of guidance. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2019-01 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. ASU 2018-19 provides improvements to clarify the guidance in the amendments in ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), or to correct unintended application of guidance.  The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this ASU are the same as the effective dates and transition requirements in ASU 2016-13, as amended by this ASU.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 – UNAUDITED

We expect the adoption of ASU 2018-19 will impact the Company’s accounting for credit losses in the same manner as the guidance in ASU 2016-13 described below.

In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance within ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820),Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments within ASU 2018-13 remove, modify, and supplement the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Disclosure requirements that were removed include: the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments clarify that the measurement uncertainty disclosure is to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurement as of the reporting date. Additional disclosure requirements include: the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period, and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. With the exception of the above additional disclosure requirements, which will be applied prospectively, all other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment which provides updated guidance on how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment. This update is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments which introduces new guidance for the accounting for credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. It also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and provides for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. The new model, referred to as the current expected credit losses (CECL) model, will apply to financial assets subject to credit losses and measured at amortized cost, and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. Upon initial recognition of the exposure, the CECL model requires an entity to estimate the credit losses expected over the life of an exposure. This update is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company has begun analyzing the data requirements needed to implement the adoption of ASU 2016-13 and we expect that the adoption of ASU 2016-13 may have a significant impact on the Company’s recording of its allowance for loan losses. The financial statement impact of the implementation of ASU 2016-13 is undeterminable at this time.

NOTE 2: ACQUISITIONS

On June 1, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of PBB Bancorp and its wholly owned subsidiary Premier Business Bank (collectively “PBB”), through a merger of PBB with and into the Bank, in exchange for 5,234,593 shares of its common stock with a fair value of $19.39 per share. The primary reason for acquiring PBB was to expand our operations in Southern California.

The acquisition is accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The acquired assets, assumed liabilities and identifiable intangible assets are recorded at their respective acquisition date fair values. Goodwill of $61 million, which is not tax deductible, is included in intangible assets in the table below.

In many cases, the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined by estimating the cash flows expected to result from those assets and liabilities and discounting them at appropriate market rates. The most significant category of assets for which this procedure was used was that of acquired loans. The excess of expected cash flows above the fair value of the majority of loans will be accreted to interest income over the remaining lives of the loans in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 310-20.

Certain loans, for which specific credit-related deterioration since origination was identified, are recorded at fair value reflecting the present value of the amounts expected to be collected. Income recognition on these “purchased credit impaired” loans is based on a reasonable expectation about the timing and amount of cash flows to be collected. Acquired loans deemed impaired and considered collateral dependent, with the timing of the sale of loan collateral indeterminate, remain on nonaccrual status and have no accretable yield. All purchased credit impaired loans were classified as accruing loans as of and subsequent to the acquisition date.

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles there was no carryover of the allowance for loan losses that had been previously recorded by PBB.

The Company recorded a deferred income tax asset of $3.8 million related to PBB’s operating loss carry-forward and other tax attributes of PBB, along with the effects of fair value adjustments resulting from applying the purchase method of accounting.

The fair value of savings and transaction deposit accounts acquired from PBB were assumed to approximate their carrying value as these accounts have no stated maturity and are payable on demand. Certificates of deposit accounts were valued by comparing the contractual cost of the portfolio to an identical portfolio bearing current market rates. The portfolio was segregated into pools based on remaining maturity. For each pool, the projected cash flows from maturing certificates were then calculated based on contractual rates and prevailing market rates. The valuation adjustment for each pool is equal to the present value of the difference of these two cash flows, discounted at the assumed market rate for a certificate with a corresponding maturity. This valuation adjustment will be accreted to reduce interest expense over the remaining maturities of the respective pools. The Company also recorded a core deposit intangible, which represents the value of the deposit relationships acquired from PBB, of $6.7 million. The core deposit intangible will be amortized over a period of 10 years.

NOTE 32: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  Current accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Company's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

From time to time, we may be required to measure other assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.  

Impaired Loans. ASC 820-10 appliesLoans measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include collateral dependent loans held for investment. The specific reserves for these loans are based on collateral value, net of estimated disposition costs and other identified quantitative inputs. Collateral value is determined based on independent third-party appraisals or internally-developed discounted cash flow analyses.  Internal discounted cash flow analyses are also utilized to loans measured for impairment in accordance with ASC 310-10, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, atestimate the fair value of the loan’s collateral (if the loan is collateral dependent) less estimated selling costs.these loans, which considers internally-developed, unobservable inputs such as discount rates, default rates, and loss severity. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, we measure the impaired loan at nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available, or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price or a discounted cash flow has been used to determine the fair value, we measure the impaired loan at nonrecurring Level 3. The total collateral dependent impaired Level 3 loans were $25.5$18.0 million and $12.8$18.9 million at September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively.  There were 0 specific reserves related to these loans at September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018.2019.

Real Estate Owned.  The fair value of real estate owned is based on external appraised values that include adjustments for estimated selling costs and assumptions of market conditions that are not directly observable, resulting in a Level 3 classification.  As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the fair value of real estate owned was $0 and $0.8 million, respectively.

Mortgage Servicing Rights. When mortgage loans are sold with servicing retained, servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value with the income statement effect recorded in gains on sales of loans.  Fair value is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income, resulting in a Level 3 classification.  All classes of servicing assets are

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 – UNAUDITED

subsequently measured using the amortization method which requires servicing rights to be amortized into noninterest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

FASB ASC 825,825-10, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” requires disclosure of the fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate such value. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis are discussed above. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies and are based on the exit price notion set forth by ASU 2016-1.2016-01. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other market value techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. The aggregate fair value amounts presented below do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

Fair value estimates are made at a discrete point in time based on relevant market information and other information about the financial instruments. Because no active market exists for a significant portion of our financial instruments, fair value estimates are based in large part on judgments we make primarily regarding current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, prepayment rates, and future expected loss experience. These estimates are subjective in nature and invariably involve some inherent uncertainties. Additionally, unexpected changes in events or circumstances can occur that could require us to make changes to our assumptions and which, in turn, could significantly affect and require us to make changes to our previous estimates of fair value.

In addition, the fair value estimates are based on existing on and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of existing and anticipated future customer relationships and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments, such as premises and equipment and other real estate owned.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates its carrying value.

11


FIRST FOUNDATION INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 – UNAUDITED

Interest-Bearing Deposits with Financial Institutions. The fair values of interest-bearing deposits maturing within ninety days approximate their carrying values.

Investment Securities Available for Sale. Investment securities available-for-sale are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. When a market is illiquid or there is a lack of transparency around the inputs to valuation, the securities are classified as Level 3 and reliance is placed upon internally developed models, and management judgment and evaluation for valuation. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include beneficial interests in FHLMC securitization.securitizations. Significant assumptions in the valuation of these Level 3 securities as of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 20182019 included a prepayment rate ofrates ranging from 15% to 25% and discount rates ranging from 4.0%6.6% to 10%.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (the “FHLB”). As a member, we are required to own stock of the FHLB, the amount of which is based primarily on the level of our borrowings from this institution. The fair value of the stock is equal to the carrying amount, is classified as restricted securities and is periodically evaluated for impairment based on our assessment of the ultimate recoverability of our investments in that stock. Any cash or stock dividends paid to us on such stock are reported as income.

Loans Held For Sale. The fair value of loans held for sale is determined using secondary market pricing.

Loans Other than Impaired LoansHeld for Investment. The fair value for loans with variable interest rates is the carrying amount. The fair value of fixed rate loans is derived by calculating the discounted value of future cash flows expected to be received by the various homogeneous categories of loans.loans or by reference to secondary market pricing. All loans have been adjusted to reflect changes in credit risk.

Deposits. The fair value of demand deposits, savings deposits, and money market deposits is defined as the amounts payable on demand. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated based on the discounted value of the future cash flows expected to be paid on the deposits.

Borrowings. The fair value of borrowings is the carrying value of overnight FHLB advances that approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of this instrument, resulting in a Level 2 classification. The fair value of term borrowings is derived by calculating the discounted value of future cash flows expected to be paid out by the Company.

Interest rate swaps. Interest rate swaps are reported at an estimated fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs including LIBOR rates from overnight to one year and U.S. swap rates from one year to thirty years.

Unrealized losses in agency mortgage-backed securities, beneficial interests in FHLMC securitizations, and other securities have not been recognized into income because the issuer bonds are of high credit quality, management does not intend to sell, it is not more likely than not that management would be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in discount rates and assumptions regarding future interest rates. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach maturity. The assessment of determining if a decline in fair value resulted from a credit loss is performed at the individual security level. Among other factors considered are: 1) the extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis; 2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, including consideration of relevant financial metrics or ratios of the issuer; 3) any adverse conditions related to an industry or geographic area of an issuer; 4) any changes to the rating of the security by a

rating agency; and 5) any past due principal or interest payments from the issuer. If an assessment of the above factors indicates that a credit loss exists, the Company records an allowance for credit losses for the excess of the amortized cost basis over the present value of cash flows expected to be collected, limited to the amount that the security's fair value is less than its amortized cost basis. Subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as a provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense. Interest accruals and amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts are suspended when the credit loss is recognized in earnings. Any interest received after the security has been placed on nonaccrual status is recognized on a cash basis.

Due to higher than expected prepayments on an underlying 2016 securitization, especially during the last three quarters, the value of an interest only strip security became impaired and we were required to reduce the value of the security by $1.8 million. The impairment was included as a charge in provision for credit losses on the consolidated income statement.

The Bank categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as current financial information, historical payment experience, collateral adequacy, credit documentation, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Bank analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis typically includes larger, non-homogeneous loans such as loans secured by multifamily or commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans. This analysis is performed on an ongoing basis as new information is obtained. The Bank uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Pass: Loans classified as pass are strong credits with no existing or known potential weaknesses deserving of management’s close attention.

Special Mention: Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard: Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Impaired: A loan is considered impaired, when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable PCD (PCI prior to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.

Additionally, all loans classified as TDRs are considered impaired at the time they are restructured. Purchased credit impairedJanuary 1, 2020) loans are not considered impairedclassified s substandard loans.

Loans individually evaluated: Substandard loans and other TDR loans are individually evaluated for these purposes.credit losses and are broken out separately in the table below.

Loans listed as pass include larger non-homogeneous loans not meeting the risk rating definitions above and smaller, homogeneous loans not assessed on an individual basis.

Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows as of:

NOTE 7:6: LOAN SALES AND MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

During the first nine months ofIn 2019, FFB recognized a $4.2 million gainof gains on the sale of $551$549 million of multifamily loans and recorded mortgage servicing rights of $1.9 million on the sale of those loans. During the first nine months of 2018, FFB recognized a $0.4 million gain on the sale of $674 million of multifamily loans and recorded mortgage servicing rights of $2.6 million on the sale of those loans. During the second quarter of 2018, we recorded a $1.5 million charge related to swap agreements put in place in anticipation of a loan sale, which occurred in the third quarter of 2018.

We entered into 2 swap agreements in the fourth quarter of 2018 to reduce the interest rate risk of our portfolio of loans held for sale. These swaps were closed out in September 2019 in conjunction with the loan sale at a cost of $19.9 million, resulting in a lower gain on sale.

For sales of multifamily loans, FFB retained servicing rights for the majority of these loans and recognized mortgage servicing rights as part of the transactions. As of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, mortgage servicing rights were $7.4$6.6 million and $6.4$7 million, respectively and the amount of loans serviced for others totaled $1.8$1.4 billion at September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and $1.3$1.7 billion at December 31, 2018.2019. Servicing fees for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, and in 20182019 were $1.2$0.4 million and $1.1$1.7 million, respectively.

The Company leases certain facilities for its corporate offices and branch operations under non-cancelable operating leases that expire through 2026. All leases were classified as operating leases and therefore, were previously not recognized on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. With the adoption of Topic 842, operating lease agreements are required to be recognized on the consolidated balance sheet as a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a corresponding lease liability.

Certain leases include options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term. The depreciable life of leased assets areis limited by the expected lease term.

The calculated amount of the ROU assets and lease liabilities in the table above are impacted by the length of the lease term and the discount rate used to present value the minimum lease payments.  The Company’s lease agreements often include one or more options to renew at the Company’s discretion. Topic 842 requires the use of the rate implicit in the lease whenever this rate is readily determinable.  As this rate is rarely determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate at lease inception, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term. For operating leases existing prior to January 1, 2019, the rate for the remaining lease term as of January 1, 2019 was used.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis is intended to facilitate the understanding and assessment of significant changes and trends in our businesses that accounted for the changes in our results of operations in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 as compared to our results of operations in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018;March 31, 2019; and our financial condition at September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 as compared to our financial condition at December 31, 2018.2019. This discussion and analysis is based on and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report and our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, and the notes thereto, which are set forth in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K (our “2018“2019 10-K”) which we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 1, 2019.2, 2020.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements contained in this report that are not historical facts or that discuss our expectations, beliefs or views regarding our future financial performance or future financial condition, or financial or other trends in our business or in the markets in which we operate, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Often, they include words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “forecast” or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” or “may.” Such forward-looking statements are based on current information that is available to us, and on assumptions that we make, about future events or economic or financial conditions or trends over which we do not have control. In addition, our businesses and the markets in which we operate are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Those risks and uncertainties, and unexpected future events, could cause our financial condition or actual operating results in the future to differ, possibly significantly, from our expected financial condition and operating results that are set forth in the forward-looking statements contained in this report.

The principal risks and uncertainties to which our businesses are subject are discussed in Item 1A2 of this report and in our 20182019 10-K and in this Item 2 below.under the heading “Risk Factors”. Therefore, you are urged to read not only the information contained under the heading “Risk Factors” in this Item 2, but also the risk factors and other cautionary information contained in Item 1A of our 20182019 10-K under the heading “Risk Factors” which qualify the forward-looking statements contained in this report.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created economic and financial disruptions that have adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, our business, operations, financial performance and prospects. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, it is possible that the U.S. and other major economies experience or continue to experience a prolonged recession, which could materially and adversely affect our business, operations, financial performance and prospects. Statements about the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, operations, financial performance and prospects may constitute forward-looking statements and are subject to the risk that the actual impacts may differ, possibly materially, from what is reflected in those forward-looking statements due to factors and future developments that are uncertain, unpredictable and in many cases beyond our control, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic, and the direct and indirect impact of the pandemic on our customers, third parties and us.

Due to these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this report and not to make predictions about our future financial performance based solely on our historical financial performance. We also disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements contained in this report or in our 20182019 10-K, except as may otherwise be required by applicable law or government regulations.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and accounting practices in the banking industry. Certain of those accounting policies are considered critical accounting policies, because they require us to make estimates and assumptions regarding circumstances or trends that could materially affect the value of those assets, such as economic conditions or trends that could impact our ability to fully collect our loans or ultimately realize the carrying value of certain of our other assets. Those estimates and assumptions are made based on current information available to us regarding those economic conditions or trends or other circumstances. If changes were to occur in the events, trends or other circumstances on which our estimates or assumptions were based, or other unanticipated events were to occur that might affect our operations, we may be required under GAAP to adjust our earlier estimates and to reduce the carrying values of the affected assets on our balance sheet, generally by means of charges against income, which could also affect our results of operations in the fiscal periods when those charges are recognized.


Allowance for Credit Losses. We adopted CECL to compute our allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on January 1, 2020.  Our ACL is established through a provision for credit losses charged to expense and may be reduced by a recapture of previously established loss reserves, which are also reflected in the income statement. Loans are charged against the ACL when management believes that collectability of the principal is unlikely. The CECL model requires the ACL to cover estimated credit losses expected over the life of an exposure. This evaluation takes into consideration such factors as current economic projections, projected payment estimates, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and certain other factors that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay. While we use the best information available to make this evaluation, future adjustments to our ACL may be necessary if there are significant changes in economic or other conditions that can affect the collectability in full of loans in our loan portfolio.

Utilization and Valuation of Deferred Income Tax Benefits. We record as a “deferred tax asset” on our balance sheet an amount equal to the tax credit and tax loss carryforwards and tax deductions (collectively “tax benefits”) that we believe will be available to us to offset or reduce income taxes in future periods. Under applicable federal and state income tax laws and regulations, tax benefits related to tax loss carryforwards will expire if they cannot be used within specified periods of time. Accordingly, the ability to fully use our deferred tax asset related to tax loss carryforwards to reduce income taxes in the future depends on the amount of taxable income that we generate during those time periods. At least once each year, or more frequently, if warranted, we make estimates of future taxable income that we believe we are likely to generate during those future periods. If we conclude, on the basis of those estimates and the amount of the tax benefits available to us, that it is more likely than not that we will be able to fully utilize those tax benefits prior to their expiration, we recognize the deferred tax asset in full on our balance sheet. On the other hand, if we conclude on the basis of those estimates and the amount of the tax benefits available to us that it has become more likely than not that we will be unable to utilize those tax benefits in full prior to their expiration, then we would establish a valuation allowance to reduce

26


the deferred tax asset on our balance sheet to the amount with respect to which we believe it is still more likely than not that we will be able to use to offset or reduce taxes in the future. The establishment of such a valuation allowance, or any increase in an existing valuation allowance, would be effectuated through a charge to the provision for income taxes or a reduction in any income tax credit for the period in which such valuation allowance is established or increased.

 

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses. Our ALLL is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense and may be reduced by a recapture of previously established loss reserves, which are also reflected in the income statement. Loans are charged against the ALLL when management believes that collectability of the principal is unlikely. The ALLL is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible based on an evaluation of the collectability of loans and prior loan loss experience. This evaluation also takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, current economic conditions and certain other subjective factors that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay. While we use the best information available to make this evaluation, future adjustments to our ALLL may be necessary if there are significant changes in economic or other conditions that can affect the collectability in full of loans in our loan portfolio.

We have two business segments, “Banking” and “Wealth Management.” Banking includes the operations of FFB and FFIS and Wealth Management includes the operations of FFA. The financial position and operating results of the stand-alone holding company, FFI, are included under the caption “Other” in certain of the tables that follow, along with any consolidation elimination entries.

Overview and Recent Developments  

DuringThe COVID-19 pandemic has caused economic and social disruption on an unprecedented scale. While some industries have been impacted more severely than others, all businesses have been impacted to some degree. This disruption has resulted in the shuttering of businesses across the country, significant job loss, and aggressive measures by the federal government.

Congress, the President, and the Federal Reserve have taken several actions designed to cushion the economic fallout. Most notably, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was signed into law at the end of March 2020 as a $2 trillion legislative package. The goal of the CARES Act is to prevent a severe economic downturn through various measures, including direct financial aid to American families and economic stimulus to significantly impacted industry sectors. The package also includes extensive emergency funding for hospitals and providers. In addition to the general impact of COVID-19, certain provisions of the CARES Act as well as other recent legislative and regulatory relief efforts could have a material impact on our operations and financial results. The following is a list of the impacts that are considered significant at this time.

In response to the potential impact on liquidity resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and to encourage banks to work with borrowers, FASB issued accounting guidelines that do not require forbearance or restructuring of loans completed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic to be classified as troubled debt restructures.

Upon the World Health Organization’s pandemic declaration, we implemented our Pandemic Response Business Continuity Plan, under which we moved approximately 85% of our corporate employees to a remote working strategy and implemented protocols for the safety of our clients and employees. The transition to working remotely was achieved within a week and did not require any significant costs due to our existing technology platform in place. Additional costs associated with the safety protocols, such as additional cleaning and supplies has been offset by reduced costs for parking, meals, entertainment and travel. We have implemented alternative procedures, such as electronic signatures and approvals, to maintain effective internal controls over our financial reporting processes.

Our financial position and results of operations through the first quarter have been impacted by increases in the allowance for credit losses as current economic projections, used in our CECL modeling, contemplate a significant adverse impact on the economy


in the coming months resulting in higher estimates of credit losses. Due to the significant decrease in rates, our funding costs started to decline in March and are expected to decline over the course of the year if the current interest rate environment persists.

Potential impacts to our future financial position and results of operation include:

Continuing adverse impacts of loan performance, including increased levels of chargeoffs and the need for additional allowance for credit loss reserves.

Origination of loans under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) administered by the Small Business Administration. We expect to originate approximately $165 million of loans under this program during the second quarter. These loans bear interest at 1%, are for a term of two years and we are paid a fee for originating these loans, which we expect to average between 2.5% to 3%. While uncertain at this time, it is expected that a majority of these loans will be repaid within 90 days of their origination by the SBA under the forgiveness terms of the loans.

Continuing low levels of funding costs due to the expected continuation of the current low interest rate environment.

After funding of existing pipelines, expectations of significantly lower origination volumes due in part to the large credit spreads on certain lending and investment security products.

The issuance of forbearance agreements to accommodate our borrowers. We have received and granted requests for forbearance on certain commercial loans, primarily to smaller businesses. However, we do require documentation of financial difficulty before granting a request, and we do not expect a significant level of forbearance activity in our loans secured by multifamily or single family real estate. The change in accounting guidelines that do not require forbearance or restructuring of loans completed as a result of the COVID 19 pandemic to be classified as troubled debt restructures will minimize the financial impact of these accommodations.  

Due to higher credit spreads, the probability of completing a loan sale and securitization in the third quarter of 2020 has decreased, and the level of expected gain is uncertain. If the sale does not occur, our balance sheet will remain at higher levels reducing our liquidity and capital levels.

Pricing volatility of our AFS securities portfolio.

Potential servicing advances required under our loan servicing agreements if borrowers are granted forbearances or do not pay their loans on a timely basis.

As previously mentioned, our funding costs have and are expected to continue to decrease. We do not expect any significant impact to our liquidity or contingent liquidity sources at this time. Due to available funding sources, we do not expect reduced cash flows caused by forbearances, loans issued under PPP, servicing advances or increases in delinquencies to have a material adverse impact on our liquidity position.  

The significant decrease in the value of stocks caused by the COVID-19 pandemic caused a 12% decrease in our assets under management during the first quarter of 2019, we sold $551 million2020 which will result in reduced revenues in future quarters. This will adversely impact the results of multifamily loans through a securitization, we sold $284 millionour Wealth Management operations in future periods.

Our results of lower yielding securities and we purchased $576 million of securities issued in the securitization.

Duringoperations for the first nine monthsquarter of 2019, loan originations totaled $1.4 billion, total deposits increased by $638 million and total revenues (net interest income and noninterest income) increased by 12% when compared to the first nine months of 2018.2020 include:

Total loans, including loans held for sale, increased $276 million in the first quarter of 2020 as a result of $664 million of originations and an $8 million positive mark to market valuation on our loans held for sale related to our hedging activities which were partially offset by payoffs or scheduled payments of $396 million.

During the first three months of 2020, total deposits increased by $140 million and total revenues (net interest income and noninterest income) increased by 12% when compared to the first three months of 2019.



Results of Operations

Our net income for the quarter and nine months ending September 30, 2019 was $17.4 million and $41.0 million, respectively, as compared to $14.7 million and $28.8 million, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ending September 30, 2018. Income before taxes for the quarter and nine months ending September 30, 2019 was $24.2 million and $57.8 million, respectively, as compared to $20.9 million and $40.2 million for the corresponding periods in 2018.

Our effective tax rate for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was 28.4% and 29.0%, respectively, as compared to 29.5% and 28.3% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, and as compared to our statutory tax rate of 29.0%.

The primary sources of revenue for Banking are net interest income, fees from its deposits and trust services, gains on sales of loans, certain loan fees, and consulting services and loan fees. The primary sourcesources of revenue for Wealth Management isare asset management fees assessed on the balance of assets under management (“AUM”). Compensation and benefit costs, which represent the largest component of noninterest expense, accounted for 50%53% and 76%74%, respectively, of the total noninterest expense for Banking and Wealth Management in the first nine monthsquarter of 2019.2020.

General. Our net income and income before taxes in the third quarter of 2019 were $17.4 million and $24.2 million, respectively, as compared to $14.7 million and $20.9 million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2018. The $3.4 million increase in income before taxes was the result of a $3.1 million increase in income before taxes for Banking, a $0.3 million decrease in income before taxes for Wealth Management and a $0.7 million decrease in corporate expenses. The increase in Banking was due to higher noninterest income and lower noninterest expenses. The decrease in Wealth Management was due to lower noninterest income and higher noninterest expenses.

General. Our net income and income before taxes in the first nine monthsquarter of 20192020 were $41.0$13.2 million and $57.8$18.6 million, respectively, as compared to $28.8$11.3 million and $40.2$16.0 million, respectively, in the first nine monthsquarter of 2018.2019. The $17.6$2.6 million increase in income before taxes was the result of a $16.9$2.3 million increase in income before taxes for Banking, a $1.2$0.1 million decreaseincrease in income before taxes for Wealth Management, and a $2.2$0.2 million decrease in corporate noninterest income and a $0.4 million decrease in corporate noninterest expenses. The increase in Banking was due to higher net interest income a lower provision for loan losses and higher noninterest income which were partially offset by a higher provision for credit losses and higher noninterest expenses. The increase in Wealth Management was due to higher noninterest income which was partially offset by higher noninterest expenses. The decrease in Wealth Managementcorporate expenses was due to lower noninterest income and higherdecreases in noninterest expenses.


Net Interest Income. The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated, information regarding (i) the total dollar amount of interest income from interest-earning assets and the resultant average yields on those assets; (ii) the total dollar amount of interest

expense and the average rate of interest on our interest-bearing liabilities; (iii) net interest income; (iv) net interest rate spread; and (v) net yield on interest-earning assets:

The net interest rate spreadyield on interest-earning assets decreased from 2.60%4.27% in the thirdfirst quarter of 20182019 to 2.27%4.06% in the first quarter of 2020 due to decreases in yields on loans and securities and an increase in the proportion of lower yielding securities and deposits to total interest-earning assets. The yield on loans decreased due to accelerated payoffs of higher yielding loans during the last year and the decrease in market rates which resulted in lower rates on loans added to the portfolio.

The decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities from 1.53% in the third quarter of 2018 to 1.91% in the thirdfirst quarter of 2019 which was partially offset by an increase in yield on interest-earning assets from 4.13%to 1.60% in the thirdfirst quarter of 2018 to 4.18% in the third quarter of 2019. The yield on interest-earning assets increased due primarily to higher yields on securities.

The increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was due to increaseddecreased costs of interest-bearing deposits, resulting from increasesdecreases in deposit market rates, and a decrease in the cost of borrowings due to decreases in the Fed Funds rates which strongly influences our borrowing rates. The average balance outstanding under the holding company line of credit decreasedincreased from $36.8 million in the third quarter of 2018 to $10.5 million in the third quarter of 2019, resulting in a $0.4 million decrease in corporate interest expense.

Net interest income for Banking increased 9% from $115.8$1.1 million in the first nine monthsquarter of 2018,2019 to $126.3$2.5 million in the first nine monthsquarter of 2019 due primarily to a 14% increase in interest-earning assets which was partially offset by a decrease in our net yield on interest earning assets. On a consolidated basis our net yield on interest earning assets was 2.87% for the first nine months of 2019 as compared to 2.97% in the first nine months of 2018. This decrease was due to a decrease in the net interest rate spread from 2.50% in the first nine months of 2018 to 2.31% in the first nine months of 2019, the effects of which were partially offset by a larger benefit derived from noninterest bearing funding sources, including noninterest-bearing deposits and equity, as interest rates rise. The decrease in the net interest rate spread was due to an increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities from 1.40% in the first nine months of 2018 to 1.94% in the first nine months of 2019 which was partially offset by an increase in yield on total interest-earning assets from 3.90% in the first nine months of 2018 to 4.25% in the first nine months of 2019. The yield on interest-earning assets increased as new loans added to the portfolio bear interest rates higher than the current portfolio rates as a result of increases in market rates. The increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was due to increased costs of interest-bearing deposits, resulting from increases in deposit market rates, and increased costs of borrowings as the average rate on FHLB advances and other overnight borrowings increased from 1.81% in the first nine months of 2018 to 2.47% in the first nine months of 2019.

Provision for loancredit losses. The provision for loancredit losses represents our estimate of the amount necessary to be charged against the current period’s earnings to maintain the ALLLACL at a level that we consider adequate in relation to the estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The provision for loancredit losses is impacted by changes in loan balances as well as changes in estimated loss assumptions and charge-offs and recoveries. The amount of the provision also takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, current economic conditions and certain other subjective factors that may affect the ability of borrowers to meet their repayment obligations to us. ForThe provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2020 and nine months ended September 30, 2019 we recorded provisionswas $4.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The $4.1 million provision for loancredit losses in the first quarter of 2020 was impacted by the adverse change in economic conditions required to be contemplated under CECL and a $1.8 million charge related to impairment in an interest only strip security. The provision for credit losses of $0.2 million and $1.9 million, respectively, as compared to a negligible amount of provisions and $4.1 million, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018. Net recoveries were $0.1 million and net chargeoffs were $0.4$0.5 million for the first quarter and nine months ended September 30,of 2019 respectively, as comparedwas due to a negligible net amount of chargeoffs and net chargeoffs of $3.5$0.3 million forand the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.growth in loan balances during the quarter.

Delinquent Loans, Nonperforming Assets and Provision for Credit Losses

Loans are considered past due following the date when either interest or principal is contractually due and unpaid. Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated as nonaccrual loans. Accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when reasonable doubt exists as to the full, timely collection of interest or principal and, generally, when a loan becomes contractually past due for 90 days or more with respect to principal or interest. However, the accrual of interest may be continued on a well-secured loan contractually past due 90 days or more with respect to principal or interest if the loan is in the process of collection or collection of the principal and interest is deemed probable. The following tables provide a summary of past due and nonaccrual loans as of:

We consider a loan to be impaired when, based upon current information and events, we believe that it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan. We measure impairment using either the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or the fair value of the properties collateralizing the loan, for collateral dependent loans. Impairment losses are included in the ALLL through a charge to provision for loan losses. Adjustments to impairment losses due to changes in the fair value of the property collateralizing an impaired loan are considered in computing the provision for loan losses. Loans collectively reviewed for impairment include all loans except for loans which are individually reviewed based on specific criteria, such as delinquency, debt coverage, adequacy of collateral and condition of property collateralizing the loans. Impaired loans include nonaccrual loans (excluding those collectively reviewed for impairment), certain restructured loans and certain performing loans less than 90 days delinquent (“other impaired loans”) which we believe are not likely to be collected in accordance with the contractual terms of the loans.

In 2017 and 2018, we purchased loans, for which there was, at acquisition, evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and it was probable, at acquisition, that all contractually required payments would not be collected. The carrying amount of these purchased credit impaired loans is as follows as of:

Excluding the loans acquired in acquisitions, our ALLLACL represented 0.52%0.48% and 0.51%0.49% of total loans outstanding as of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively.

The amount of the ALLLACL is adjusted periodically by charges to operations (referred to in our income statement as the “provision for loancredit losses”) (i) to replenish the ALLLACL after it has been reduced due to loan write-downs or charge-offs, (ii) to reflect increases in the volume of outstanding loans, and (iii) to take account of changes in the risk of potential loancredit losses due to a deterioration in the condition of borrowers, or in the value of property securing non–performing loans, or adverse changes in economic conditions. The amounts of the provisions we make for loancredit losses are based on our estimate of losses in our loan portfolio. In estimating such losses, we use economic and loss migration models that are based on bank regulatory guidelines and industry standards, and our historical charge-off experience and loan delinquency rates, local and national economic conditions, a borrower’s ability to repay its borrowings, and the value of any property collateralizing the loan, as well as a number of subjective factors. However, these determinations involve judgments about changes and trends in current economic conditions and other events that can affect the ability of borrowers to meet their loan obligations to us and a weighting among the quantitative and qualitative factors we consider in determining the sufficiency of the ALLL.ACL. Moreover, the duration and anticipated effects of prevailing economic conditions or trends can be uncertain and can be affected by a number of risks and circumstances that are outside of our control. If


changes in economic or market conditions or unexpected subsequent events were to occur, or if changes were made to bank regulatory guidelines or industry standards that are used to assess the sufficiency of the ALLL,ACL, it could become necessary for us to incur additional, and possibly significant, charges to increase the ALLL,ACL, which would have the effect of reducing our income.

In addition, the FDIC and the DBO, as an integral part of their examination processes, periodically review the adequacy of our ALLL.ACL. These agencies may require us to make additional provisions for loancredit losses, over and above the provisions that we have already made, the effect of which would be to reduce our income.

The column labeled “Unaccreted Credit Component Other Loans” represents the amount of unaccreted credit component discount for the other loans acquired in prior acquisitions, and the stated principal balance of the related loans. The unaccreted credit component discount is equal to 0.56% and 0.68% of the stated principal balances of these loans0.53% as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.2019. In addition to this unaccreted credit component discount, an additional $0.4$0.3 million of the ALLLACL was provided for these loans as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.2019.


Liquidity

Liquidity management focuses on our ability to generate, on a timely and cost-effective basis, cash sufficient to meet the funding needs of current loan demand, deposit withdrawals, principal and interest payments with respect to outstanding borrowings and to pay operating expenses. Our liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of funds management. Liquid assets are generally invested in marketable securities or held as cash at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco or other financial institutions.

40


We monitor our liquidity in accordance with guidelines established by our Board of Directors and applicable regulatory requirements. Our need for liquidity is affected by our loan activity, net changes in deposit levels and the maturities of our borrowings. The principal sources of our liquidity consist of deposits, loan interest and principal payments and prepayments, investment management and consulting fees, FHLB advances and proceeds from borrowings and sales of shares by FFI.FFI common stock. The remaining balances of the Bank’sCompany’s lines of credit available to draw down totaled $1.9$1.8 billion at September 30, 2019.  March 31, 2020.

Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities. During the nine monthsquarter ended September 30,March 31, 2020, operating activities provided net cash of $1 million, primarily due to net income of $13 million and $4 million in provisions for credit losses, offset partially by a net increase of $7 million in other assets and $9 million decrease in other liabilities. During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, operating activities provided net cash of $47$11 million, comprised primarily of our net income of $41$11 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, operating activities provided net cash of $42 million, comprised primarily of our net income of $29 million and $2 million decrease in other assets and $5 million increase in accounts payable and other liabilities.

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities. During the nine monthsquarter ended September 30,March 31, 2020, investing activities used net cash of $209 million, primarily to fund a $264 million net increase in loans and $3 million in securities purchases, offset partially by $55 million in cash received in principal collection and maturities of securities. During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, investing activities used net cash of $269$123 million, primarily to fund a $628$141 million net increase in loans and $577$2 million in securitiesFHLB stock purchases, offset partially by $357$21 million in cash received in proceeds from the sale, principal collection, and maturities of securities and $574 million in proceeds from the sale of securities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, investing activities used net cash of $343 million, primarily to fund a $786 million net increase in loans and $350 million in securities purchases, offset partially by $674 million in loan sales, $67 million in cash received in proceeds from the sale, principal collection, and maturities of securities, and $48 million in cash received in the acquisition.

Cash Flow Provided by Financing Activities. During the nine monthsquarter ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, financing activities provided net cash of $423$185 million, consisting primarily of a net increase of $638$140 million in deposits and a $51 million increase in FHLB advances, offset partially by a $203$3 million decrease in FHLB advances,dividends paid and $20$3 million cash paid in the settlement of a swap transaction.stock repurchases. During the nine monthsquarter ended September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, financing activities provided net cash of $235$126 million, consisting primarily of a net increaseincreases of $748$36 million in deposits and $92 million in FHLB advances, offset partially by a $511$2 million net decrease in FHLB advances.dividends paid.

Ratio of Loans to Deposits. The relationship between gross loans and total deposits can provide a useful measure of a bank’s liquidity. Since repayment of loans tends to be less predictable than the maturity of investments and other liquid resources, the higher the loan-to-deposit ratio the less liquid are our assets. On the other hand, since we realize greater yields on loans than we do on other interest-earning assets, a lower loan-to-deposit ratio can adversely affect interest income and earnings. As a result, our goal is to achieve a loan-to-deposit ratio that appropriately balances the requirements of liquidity and the need to generate a fair return on our assets. At September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the loan-to-deposit ratios at the BankFFB were 94%106%, and 106%103%, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Some of the commitments to fund existing loans, lines of credit and letters of credit are expected to expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. As of September 30, 2019, the BankMarch 31, 2020, FFB was obligated on $231$281 million of letters of credit to the FHLB which were being used as collateral for public fund deposits, including $213$263 million of deposits from the State of California.

Capital Resources and Dividend Policy

The capital rules applicable to United States based bank holding companies and federally insured depository institutions (“Capital Rules”) require the Company (on a consolidated basis) and FFB (on a stand-alone basis) to meet specific capital adequacy requirements that, for the most part, involve quantitative measures, primarily in terms of the ratios of their capital to their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items, calculated under regulatory accounting practices. In addition, prompt correct action regulations place a federally insured depository institution, such as FFB, into one of five capital categories on the basis of its capital


ratios: (i) well capitalized; (ii) adequately capitalized; (iii) undercapitalized; (iv) significantly undercapitalized; or (v) critically undercapitalized. A depository institution’s primary federal regulatory agency may determine that, based on certain qualitative assessments, the depository institution should be assigned to a lower capital category than the one indicated by its capital ratios. At each successive lower capital category, a depository institution is subject to greater operating restrictions and increased regulatory supervision by its federal bank regulatory agency.

As of each of the dates set forth in the above table, the Company exceeded the minimum required capital ratios applicable to it and FFB’s capital ratios exceeded the minimums necessary to qualify as a well-capitalized depository institution under the prompt corrective action regulations. The required ratios for capital adequacy set forth in the above table do not include the Capital Rules’ additional capital conservation buffer, though each of the Company and FFB maintained capital ratios necessary to satisfy the capital conservation buffer requirements as of the dates indicated.  

During the first nine months of 2019, FFI made capital contributions to FFB of $10 million. As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, FFI had $16.2$11.7 million of available capital and, therefore, has the ability and financial resources to contribute additional capital to FFB, if needed.

As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the amount of capital at FFB in excess of amounts required to be Well Capitalizedwell capitalized for purposes of the prompt corrective action regulations was $198$202 million for the CET-1CET1 capital ratio, $203$213 million for the Tier 1 leverage ratio,Leverage Ratio, $127 million for the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and $54 million for the Total risk-based capital ratio.

The Company paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05$0.07 per common share in the first three quartersquarter of 2019.2020. It is our current intention to continue to pay quarterly dividends. The amount and declaration of future cash dividends are subject to approval by our Board of Directors and certain regulatory restrictions which are discussed in Item 1 “Business—Supervision and Regulation—Dividends and Stock Repurchases” in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019. Additionally, under the terms of the holding company line of credit agreement, FFI may only declare and pay a dividend if the total amount of dividends and stock repurchases during the current twelve months does not exceed 50% of FFI’s net income for the same twelve month period. We did not paypaid $8.9 million in dividends ($0.20 per share) in 2018.2019.

We had no material commitments for capital expenditures as of September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020. However, we intend to take advantage of opportunities that may arise in the future to grow our businesses, including bywhich may include opening additional offices or acquiring


complementary businesses that we believe will provide us with attractive risk-adjusted returns, although we do not have any immediate plans, arrangements or understandings relating to any material acquisition.returns. As a result, we may seek to obtain additional borrowings and to sell additional shares of our common stock to raise funds which we might need for these purposes. There is no assurance, however, that, if required, we will succeed in obtaining additional borrowings or selling additional shares of our common

stock on terms that are acceptable to us, if at all, as this will depend on market conditions and other factors outside of our control, as well as our future results of operations.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to certain financial risks, which are discussed in detail in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the section titled Asset and Liability Management: Interest Rate Risk in our Annual Report on Form 10-K which we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2019.2, 2020.  There have been no material changes to our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk since December 31, 2018.2019.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any system of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.  

In accordance with SEC rules, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness, as of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes

The following risk factor supplements, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

The COVID-19 pandemic and measures intended to prevent its spread are adversely affecting us and our customers, employees and third-party service providers, and the ultimate extent of the impacts on our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and prospects is uncertain.

Global health concerns relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and related government actions taken to reduce the spread of the virus have created significant economic uncertainty and reduced economic activity, including within our market areas. Governmental authorities have implemented numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, “stay at home” orders and business limitations and shutdowns. These measures have caused significant unemployment and have negatively impacted consumer and business spending. The United States government has taken steps to attempt to mitigate some of the more severe anticipated economic effects of the virus, including the passage of the CARES Act, but there can be no assurance that such steps will be effective or achieve their desired results in a timely fashion.  Continued deterioration in general business and economic conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, including further increases in unemployment rates, or turbulence in domestic or global financial markets, could adversely affect our revenues and the values of our assets and liabilities, reduce the availability of funding, lead to a tightening of credit, and further increase stock price volatility, which could result in impairment to our goodwill in future periods.  In addition, changes to statutes, regulations, or regulatory policies or practices as a result of, or in response to COVID-19, could affect us in substantial and unpredictable ways, including the potential adverse impact of loan modifications and payment deferrals implemented consistent with recent regulatory guidance.

Our business is dependent upon the willingness and ability of our customers and employees to conduct banking and other financial transactions. Disruptions to our customers caused by the COVID-19 pandemic could result in increased risk of delinquencies, defaults, foreclosures and losses on our loans, as well as reductions in loan demand, the liquidity of loan guarantors, loan collateral values (particularly in real estate), loan originations, interest and noninterest income and deposit availability.  These


factors may remain prevalent for a significant period of time and may continue to adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided. We also could be adversely affected if key personnel or a significant number of employees were disclosedto become unavailable due to the effects and restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic in Item 1A, underour market areas. Although we have business continuity plans and other safeguards in place, there is no assurance that such plans and safeguards will be effective.  In addition, we rely upon our third-party vendors to conduct business and to process, record, and monitor transactions. If any of these vendors are unable to continue to provide us with these services, it could negatively impact our ability to serve our customers.

The extent to which the captionCOVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and prospects will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and are difficult to predict, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience materially adverse impacts to our business as a result of the virus’s economic impact and any recession that has occurred or may occur in the future.

There are no comparable recent events that provide guidance as to the effect the spread of COVID-19 as a global pandemic may have, and, as a result, we do not yet know the full extent of the impacts on our business, our operations or the economy as a whole. However, the effects could have a material impact on our results of operations and heighten many of our known risks described in the “Risk Factors” in Part Isection of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, which we filed with the SEC on March 1, 2019.
